Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 313

Ashley pushed open the door to the study and walked in.

Joseph saw her coming back and waved his hand in greeting. “Ashley, you’re back? Didn’t you go to have lunch with Miranda? Why are you back so early?”

But Ashley didn’t even look at him. She headed straight for Valentin behind the desk.

Single and ignored, Joseph was puzzled.

Then, he saw Ashley walk over and immediately throw herself into Valentin’s arms, saying, “I don’t know why, but I couldn’t stop thinking about you while having lunch outside. So, I came back to see you as soon as I finished eating.”

Valentin glanced at her leisurely.

In his mind, he thought, ‘Now she says this.

‘When I was jealous this morning, you wouldn’t even console me with a single word.’

Ashley hugged Valentin and kissed him on the cheek. “I saw what was happening online and knew you’re the best for me!”

Caught off guard by their display of affection, Joseph tried to make his presence felt. “Ashley, I’m still here!”

Finally, Ashley spared him a glance, blinking in confusion. “Why haven’t you left yet?”

Joseph was speechless.

He frowned.

But he was determined to become an unshakable third wheel!

However, Claire arrived before he could establish himself as the third wheel.

Claire had seen the online gossip and was worried about how Ashley might feel, so she came to check on her.

After arriving and seeing that Ashley was in good spirits, along with Valentin being protective of her, Claire felt somewhat relieved.
